non Alcoholic Drinks To Love!
A delicious drink is like the cherry on top of your well-planned gathering or impromptu party. These simple, alcohol-free drinks can be put together in a flash, and are perfect for guests of every age.
Here’s why we love them!
- Variety. Whether you’re looking for warm or cold, fruity or playful, there is a tantalizing drink for you!
- Easy. These are all easy non-alcoholic drinks that can be made at home.
- Quick. Many are so easy they can be whipped up just minutes before you need to serve them.
- Make ahead. Others can be made the day before, and stored in the fridge.
Turn a Cocktail into a Mocktail
Not all cocktail drinks are easily transformed. One helpful tip is to choose drinks that already have a lower ratio of alcohol in the recipe.
- Soda. Most often simply substitute the liquor for soda water, lemon-lime soda, or ginger ale.
- Fruit puree. If it’s a flavored liquor, substitute it with a similarly flavored fruit puree.
- Add a splash of juice. Grapefruit juice, pomegranate juice, grenadine, orange juice, cranberry juice, or fresh lime juice are great choices to add flavor.
Taste as you go to get the best result.
Add Character
Just because these drinks don’t contain alcohol doesn’t mean they can’t be fun!!
- Use fun cups. Mason jars, textured tumblers, patterned disposable cups, or even clear plastic cups.
- Sugar the rim. This works best with a glass cup.
- In a bowl, add a scoop or two of sugar.
- In a separate bowl, add a few tablespoons of lemon juice.
- Dip the rim of the glass into the lemon juice, then into the sugar. Allow it to dry.
- Accessories. Use fun straws, drink umbrellas, and festive cocktail skewers.
- Herbs. Add dashes of herbs or spices to the drink like salt, basil, thyme, nutmeg, rosemary, ground cinnamon, or a cinnamon stick.
- Garnish the drinks with fresh herbs, add a fresh fruit slice to the rim of the cups, throw in a couple of maraschino cherries, or toss berries directly into the glass.
- Ice cubes. Make unique ice cubes using fun-shaped ice cube trays. Pre-make the drink, and freeze it into cubes. This way you can chill a drink without watering it down.
Party Punch Tips
Use these party tips to whip up the best non alcoholic party drinks at home for epic parties!
- New recipes. Test it a week or two ahead of time so that you can make any adjustments before the party.
- For large parties, make the punch in advance and store it in jugs in the refrigerator. Refill the punch bowl as needed.
- Save the carbonation to pour in when filling the punch bowl. This way the drink won’t go flat while it’s waiting to be served.
- Label the drinks. This is particularly helpful for people who are avoiding alcohol or have food allergies.
- Drink dispensers. Be mindful that you don’t add ingredients that can clog the tap.
- Transporting punch:
- Take all the ingredients and mix them up at the venue.
- Mix it up before traveling, and store it in airtight leak-proof containers.
- Utilize a cooler to keep ingredients cold, and in case a container leaks.
